Marriage, Loneliness and Help-Meet

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. - Genesis 2:18

One of the reasons why God institute marriage is to stop loneliness. But statistics show there are increasingly lonely spouses in marriage. One can't but ask what exactly is wrong.

Eve was an help meet for Adam. Loneliness don't just fade when you marry, it fades when you marry your help meet.

The word help meet in this context means one as before him, or correspondent to him, his counterpart, suitable to his nature and his need, one like himself in shape, constitution, and disposition, a second self: one to be at hand, or near to him, to converse familiarly with him, to be always ready to succour and comfort him, and whose care and business it should be to please and help him.

To the Singles, before you marry, you got to be careful you marry someone who will be your help meet. Marriage is better when you marry your help meet. That is our God designed it.

To the married but still lonely. Being married don't make loneliness to stop. You got to make effort towards helping one another, be there for one another, helping each other. the togetherness in all these things is what take loneliness away.

It's a blessed day. It's a miraculous day. It is your day.

Good Morning and have a happy-filled day. 😀

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive. When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value. Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva. When
